Hello there!
Today team Diane are kicking off the first challenge of 2017 over at
It's a very special challenge ... We are celebrating our 1st birthday!
The theme is "Anniversary" and here's the lovely tile board to inspire you
Now before I go on to share my card ... A note about our celebrations
This challenge will run as usual for a fortnight and as well as the prizes given to our winners by the lovely Dar and Diane, there will be extra prizes up for grabs! But the celebrations don't end there... The following fortnight's challenge will also have extra prizes! AND many of the team members (both teams) are also offering a prize on their blogs. It's one heck of a celebration so hop on over to the Double D Blog for full details
Now on to my card...
It's actually my wedding anniversary today, honestly, so I had to make something that wasn't too girly that I could give to my husband, though seeing that lovely tile board I did wonder what I could come up with... But the greens, the silver and that wood framed chalkboard caught my eye and that's what led me to this card
As always our teams have created some wonderful projects to inspire you... You can go frilly and fancy or simple... It's up to you
And before I forget, Here's the gift I will be offering
All you have to do is to leave me a comment and I'll draw a name at the end of the challenge to see who wins... There's no blog hop and the same will apply to all the team member blogs ... If you'd like a chance of winning their gift just leave them a comment and for a chance to win the prizes offered by Double D, just link up your creation... Simple!
Before I go I'd like to wish my friend and fellow blogger the very talented Keren Baker a
Happy Birthday!
Wishing you a wonderful day
~ Ros ~

Love your take on that board; not too feminine. As always your background is perfect and I love the branches. Love your new blog header too; I honestly don't know if I already mentioned that.

Beautiful Ros! I just love the forest in the background, so subtle and makes a lovely backdrop for your branch and star!! I know I'm a little late, but I wanted to wish you and yours a Happy new year anyway!! hugs :)
Happy Anniversary to you both x Do so like the colour combination, a bit different and it works really well x Elegant and classy x
Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!! Your card is just lovely with the soft background and pretty star hanging from the limb! Your husband will love it I'm sure! Happy 1st Anniversary to DD! And, thank you for the chance to win a lovely prize!
Wonderful background for the branch and shiny stars. so clever to tie one star to the branch. I love the beauty and simplicity.
Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby, Ros! Simply love your elegant card. The wood grain background paper and limbs look great against the background. Love the hanging star! That MB Twiggy Branch is a favorite of mine.
Well, happy anniversary, Ros! I think this card is perfect for the occasion. LOVE your stamped trees with the sponging and then the die cut branches coming in from the side. The wood grain paper is a great idea for the branches and the narrow peeking border. So cute with the stars, and I especially love the star dangling as though it got hung up there as it was falling from the sky. I'm so glad we're teammates!
Love, Love this card! Simple yet beautiful! I love the way you made the branches look fuller by turning the diecut in opposite directions. Love the star and the muted background and the smaller stars just tie it all together.
your card is so pretty!
hugs, ŦÄÆ™Ä
